Friedrich Max Müller

As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Self is the lord of self, who else could be the lord? With self well subdued, a man finds a lord such as few can find

Even in heavenly pleasures he finds no satisfaction, the disciple who is fully awakened delights only in the destruction of all desires.

Good people shine from afar, like the snowy mountains; bad people are not seen, like arrows shot by night.

If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
